This book addresses the principles and methods for determining
petroleum source rocks based on fossil spores and pollen. Studying
petroliferous basins in China, we discovered that there are often
as many as three different sources of the microfossils: the source
rocks, the rocks along the pathway, and the reservoir rocks.
Therefore, fossil spores, pollen and algae from inland and coastal
shelf petroliferous basins are analyzed and illustrated to show
this complex process. Furthermore, the organic origin theory of oil
is proven and environmental characteristics for hydrocarbon
source-rock formation are discussed. Along with the geochronical
and geographic distribution of non-marine petroleum source rocks in
China, the mechanisms of petroleum migration following the pathways
to the reservoirs are investigated. It will be a valuable reference
work as well as a textbook for a wider research areas ranging from
stratigraphy, palynology, palaeontology and petroleum geology.
